How do you know a good travel advisor? You call Renee, give her a travel budget, and a destination, and then let her weave her magic, that's how! Renee's service for my wife and I was impeccable!

Renee is highly personal, professional, and extremely detail-oriented. She has made sure that nothing was missed, and we feel very fortunate to have Renee as our cruise specialist. We will definitely contact Renee for any future services, and highly recommend her services.

We couldn't have asked for a more helpful person. Renee you alleviated my "travel anxiety" and I certainly feel more confident going forward. We plan to restart our travelling.

Monnie and I love the roses. They are stunning. Thank you so much, they are very much appreciated. We are onboard, comfortable and feeling very much at home. As predicted Miami was a zoo trying to get to the ship. What should have taken one hour took 3! Still thanks to the Seabourn warnings we left in plenty of time. And arrived well within the allotted time. So, again, thank you.

Hi Renee, The ship has been without internet. It just turned on so we wanted to show you the beautiful flowers you sent in our lovely suite. We are really enjoying this wonderful new ship. So thanks for doing all the hard work for us.

Red Orchid Travel, specifically the owner Renee Blokzyl, ensured that all of our travel questions regarding our most recent trip to Alaska were answered. We are grateful to Renee for her travel expertise and knowledge.

However, Renee’s service doesn’t stop with sharing her vast information with her clients. She goes above and beyond to ensure each traveller’s adventure is special and unique to their individual needs, wants and travel bucket list. Thank you Renee for all you do!!

Michelle & Colin

When Renee says, all you have to do is pack, she really means it. To be honest, we weren’t sure because we had a complicated trip planned and we wondered about hiccups along the way, like missing our connection due to a delayed flight, but Renee already had us covered while still in the air! Every detail was tended to, our private transfers were waiting for us, our hotel upgraded us with credit and breakfast included, and the welcome note in our hotel room with the bottle of wine on ice greeted us. I cried. She even made dinner reservations at a perfect spot the night of our wedding anniversary. We are so pleased with the service, and patience you had for us, Renee, you were fabulous to work with, and a gem of a travel professional in all ways. We are already planning our next vacation, thank you for everything, our trip was so fulfilling in every way.
